According to CNN, in recent days, the President of the United States Donald trump, Secretary of state Mike Pompeo and White house adviser on the economy Larry Kudlow “has had dozens of conversations with foreign allies about the ways of the collective response” to alleged deliberate attempts by China to raze the details of the outbreak of coronavirus and the seriousness of the disease.
it is Noteworthy that, given the approaching November presidential election in the United States and to put it mildly unimportant state in which due to the negative effect of the pandemic COVID-19 remains the us economy, the agenda of the possible “collective response” to Beijing includes new duties on Chinese products and the tightening of cooperation with IT companies from China. At least, that such “punitive measures” are discussed in the White house, and their main supporter is the son of trump – Jared Kushner, said CNN’s anonymous sources.
note that given the partiality of the media and undisguised desire to disrupt the re-election of the current American leader to this kind of information a priori, should be treated with considerable skepticism. It is not excluded that the liberal mainstream media is trying to complicate the already far from cloudless relations of the current administration, the US and China, thus even more exacerbating the situation in the us economy before the presidential election.
However, if such data is truth, in fact, we are talking about a new round of protectionist policy of Washington, which is on the banks of the Potomac at this time going to substantiate revealed in the “sins” of China in the spread of coronavirus in the world. The grounds for such forecasts in recent years, repeatedly gave himself, Donald trump, declaring the intention of the bill to China “for mistakes.”
What is certain is the willingness of U.S. allies to distance themselves from an increasingly aggressive confrontation between Washington and Beijing, which from the field of megaphone diplomacy around the search for the guilty ones in a flash COVID-19 at any time may trigger a new phase of economic war or lead to risks in the sphere of security.
the European Union, does not want to become a bargaining chip in the “geopolitical warfare” the United States and China, won emphatically equidistant position from both Washington and Beijing. And gently called for an independent international inquiry into the causes of the pandemic. As the head foreign policy service of the European Union Josep of Borelli, the proposal of Brussels will be officially made on may 18, the upcoming international meeting of the world health organization (who).
According to the TV channel Euronews, the initiative originally belonged to Austria, which has convinced its EU partners of the need to find out the real reason GSPISCI coronavirus, in order to avoid such health crises in the future. Himself Borelli in a recent interview with French newspaper Le Journal de Dimanche said that an international investigation should move away from the “battlefield between China and the United States, accusing each other that only intensifies their rivalry”.
